If I'm shooting something well north of 3,000 fps, I would prefer either a bonded, monolithic, or NP or A-Frame, or whatever won't come apart on close shots--on anything larger than a deer. A non-magnum .243 does that. A 200gr .300 magnum generally doesn't. I'm not arguing for hyper-velocity cartridges, but, if you're using them, you might consider something other than a non-bonded C&C--aside from whether it's "premium" or not. A NBT may be a "premium" bullet, but it would not be my first choice for a bullet launched at 3,500 fps against a large animal, even though they would work most of the time.
